A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javadoc creates bad HTML in the navbar. Thre structure of
that table, as generated on a class documentation page, is
as follows:

<TABLE>
  <TR>
    <TD COLSPAN=3></TD>
    <TD ROWSPAN=3></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

So the first row ends up with 4 columns (three for the
first TD and one for the last TD) while the other two rows
have only 3 each (two for each TD in the row and one for
the last three-row TD on the first row).

Aditionally, on the pages where the navbar has only two
rows, the last TD on the first row still has rowspan=3,
which gives that column an extra row.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Generate javadoc documentation
2. Inspect the Navbar area of the generated files.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The expected table structure is as follows for a class:

<TABLE>
  <TR>
    <TD COLSPAN=2></TD>
    <TD ROWSPAN=3></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

and as follows for other pages:

<TABLE>
  <TR>
    <TD COLSPAN=2></TD>
    <TD ROWSPAN=2></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

The actual results are as described in the description.

This bug can be reproduced always.

======================================================================

N/A

Note that not all HTML pages have the same navbar table structure.
Class pages have three rows, while all other pages have two rows.
(Index pages, such as index-1.html, have a third row added as a
separate table following the nav bar.)

Changed synopsis from:
    Javadoc creates too many columns in the first row of the navbar

    stddoclet: COLSPAN creates an extra column in the first row of the navbar
